...such, great credit is due Harvard's pitcher whose work, in his first championship game, was very praiseworthy. With one or two exceptions, the impartiality of the audience, in so far as it was composed of Harvard men, deserves commendation. This is a matter about which we cannot be too careful, especially since one of the arguments of those who favor rigid restrictions in intercollegiate athletics is the alleged ungentlemanly conduct of the students during the contests.

Their average for the past year was not below, and probably a little above, the average of the college at large, and the figures show there are both high and low scholars among them. The present method of marking is such that the averages cannot be obtained as exactly as a few years ago, but the conclusion is undoubtedly correct. Morgan's "University Oars" has settled the question for Oxford and Cambridge, that the men rowing in university races have a life longer and a health better than the average college graduate, and among them...
